Depth of Silence

In the noise of the perpetual commotion
Voice of hysteria feels touch of calmness 
Serene sentiments sink slow unexpressed
In unreachable depth of the mute mind.

When the cacophony outside finally stops
The unsaid becomes the sound of silence
That goes where it finds the desired niche
Strikes softly the known chord of harmony
The voice rises to say what wasn’t yet said
From the depth of silence.

In chaotic space of crumbled relationships
Sentiments spiraled where they once grew
Many feelings act in the kaleidoscope show
In frozen depth of unfeeling heart hollow.

When the storm stops on the apocalypse
It becomes the sheath of stalled silence
That spreads where it finds wanted place
Invites there the simmering summer winds
Warm emotions well up the dormant feelings
From the depth of silence.
